The Tongariro Crossing between the Mangatepopo valley and Ketetahi is a hugely popular summer walk. Even so, parties setting out on the Crossing should be prepared for sudden changes in weather and mountain conditions. Winter on Tongariro is very different. Although on a fine day a steady stream of visitors may still climb to the craters, there will be nothing like the constant flow encountered in summer. Under snow, the broad expanses of the craters are a unique alpine environment. It’s a great day out. You will need an ice axe, crampons, and the ability to use them.
The alpine lakes and summits of the mountains are sacred to Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro. Respectfully, they ask that summits are not climbed, waterways are not touched, and frozen lakes not walked on.
